In the Czech town of Roznov pod Radhostem, a groundbreaking $2 billion investment by the Arizona-based company ON Semiconductor (Onsemi) is set to revolutionize the region’s industrial landscape and inject new vitality into the country’s economy.

This investment marks the largest commitment by a foreign company in the Czech Republic in the last 30 years, signaling a significant shift toward technological advancement in the area.

ON Semiconductor is expanding its existing operations in the Czech Republic, where approximately 2,200 employees currently produce 10 million semiconductor chips daily. These chips are supplied to major global brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Siemens, Apple, and Samsung Electronics.

The expansion plan is expected to generate 800 new jobs over the next seven years, further solidifying the region's position as a burgeoning tech hub. This development underscores the Czech Republic's growing importance in the global semiconductor industry and highlights the country's potential as a key player in high-tech manufacturing.

According to a report by Bloomberg’s Krystof Chamonikolas and Michal Kubala, this investment not only promises economic rejuvenation but also positions Roznov pod Radhostem as a crucial center for innovation and industrial transformation in Eastern Europe.
